Whereas the print publications that researchers depend on are generally issued by reputable publishers, like university presses, that accept accountability for the quality and reliability of the works they distribute....many online materials are self published without any outside review." (MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers) "Assessing Internet resources is a particular challenge.
